The Japanese reinforcements arrived first, which boosted their morale and strengthened their offensive;
The defensive pressure of the company increased sharply. If it were not for the suppression of two Czech light machine guns, the Japanese would have rushed to the position.
"Boom!"
A grenade landed behind the machine gunner of the third squadron from a very tricky angle. As an explosion came, all two soldiers of the third machine gunner squad fell in a pool of blood;
Luo Ying looked guilty. The Japs had too many grenades, and one of his bolt-action rifles couldn't take care of them. The Japs successfully attacked him in a sneak attack.
Although Luo Ying also killed the Japanese grenadier soldiers with one shot, he could not change the result of missing another machine gun firepower. Now their situation was already very dangerous, and there was a possibility of being charged by the Japanese at any time;
Now more than ever, he misses his junior fellow apprentice whom he has not seen since time travel, Deputy Company Commander Li who graduated from the ninth phase of Huangpu.
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
After seeing that the defenders' firepower had been reduced by more than half, Second Lieutenant Nakata pulled out his cheap standard saber and gave the order to charge.
Dozens of Japanese soldiers got up from the ground, raised their guns and rushed forward, shouting;
Luo Ying shot Nakata in the side. For the Japs who liked to show off, he would simply treat them to a peanut. Unfortunately, another Japs cut off their beards.
A Japs suddenly rushed over and used his big head to block Luo Ying's inevitable blow for Nakata. The Japs were so scared that Nakata shrank his neck and hid behind another Japs.
At a distance of tens of meters, Luo Ying didn't even have time to fire a second shot. The Japanese troops rushed forward, and the two sides were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat;
At the critical moment, intensive gunshots and roars suddenly rang out from the side of the company's position, and Luo Ying felt happy——
Fucking Deputy Company Commander Li is finally here!
"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta-ta..."
The reinforcements used several Czech light machine guns to clear the way and surrounded the building from the flanks, forming a dense side fire and knocking down more than a dozen Japanese in an instant;
The Japs' offensive then paused, and before the Japs could react, another wave of bullets rained down, knocking down more than a dozen Japs!
This became the last straw that broke the Japanese's morale. Seeing that the situation was not right, Second Lieutenant Nakata pulled up a pair of short legs and ran away, as agile as a thin black monkey jumping out of the island;
(Monkey: Author, you are insulting!)
The other black-skinned Japs also began to retreat like a tide, and a company of officers and soldiers fired wildly at their backs, leaving behind all the short-legged Japs.
After the tide passes, all that is left are corpses like dumplings pulled down by cows.
"Bagayalu, you are a bunch of trash! The Imperial Army has been completely disgraced by you!
Nakata, you disgrace your trust in the Emperor! "
Captain Ozawa immediately found a scapegoat for himself.
Ten minutes later, Second Lieutenant Nakata, who was lucky enough to escape with his life, still did not escape Ozawa's big mouth.
"Bagayalu! Your job is not that of a samurai!"
After the scolding, he was still angry and slapped him twice in the mouth;
Second Lieutenant Nakata's face was almost turned into a pig's head, but he didn't dare to show any complaints. He just kept bowing there, bowing every time he was slapped, like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency!"
"Your Excellency taught you a lesson!"
…
"roll!"
Ozawa finally got tired from the beating and his palms were swollen, so he kicked Nakata away;
The hierarchy of the Japanese is very strict. If you lose a battle and get slapped a few times, this is a normal operation. If you don't commit seppuku, it's because your ancestors showed up. Go thank Auntie Amaterasu!
No wonder Captain Ozawa was so angry. In the previous round of attacks, he had lost nearly a team;
His squadron only has three infantry squads in total. In addition to the more than 30 Japs lost in the first round of the attack, his squadron has now suffered more than 90 casualties.
Since the battlefield was under the control of the Chinese, most of the wounded soldiers of the Japanese could not be rescued. Of these 90 or so people, more than 70 of them were lying in front of the Chinese positions, a mass of darkness, like a herd of cattle leaving The dumplings left behind were disgusting to look at.
Ozawa was angry, but his headache was not relieved at all. This is the sequelae of stud;
Their movements during the stud were so graceful before, but now they are so embarrassed. The entire Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai only has a few thousand people, and even including the soldiers in the country, there are only more than 10,000 people.
Dozens of people were killed and injured in one charge. The Japanese couldn't afford such a war of attrition. Ozawa didn't even know how to report to the captain...
"Bagaya road!"
After this round of competition, Captain Ozawa was hurt from the beating. He was now like a mouse stuck in the bellows, unable to advance or retreat.
The results after Luo Ying's stud battle were obviously not very satisfactory. Although a large number of Japanese were eliminated, there were also many casualties. The elites of the Central Army such as the 88th Division were also wiped out one by one.
If the enemy's artillery advantage is eliminated and the confrontation is purely based on infantry, the 88th Division will have no problem carrying a Japanese brigade alone. It is not difficult to achieve a 1:1 exchange ratio;
But combat power is not compared like this. In front of the huge artillery of the Third Fleet, a division cannot withstand several rounds of coverage...
"Company Commander, the casualty figures have been calculated. The total number of casualties in the company is 48, of which 27 were killed."
Deputy company commander Li Shuo reported to Luo Ying in a low voice that in just half a day of fighting, nearly half of the previously fully-staffed company had suffered casualties. This was the result of the Central Army's German weapon divisions' defensive efforts. The Japanese were far more powerful than he imagined. Much harder to beat.
Luo Ying patted his junior brother on the shoulder and said:
"Brother, this is just the beginning. These are the enemy's marines. They are not very good at attacking. If it were replaced by the enemy's army, our casualties would only be greater!"
Li Shuo nodded and said:
"Company commander, do you think the Japanese army will increase its troops in Shencheng?"
"Brother, give up your fantasy, this is inevitable! Shencheng is only more than 300 kilometers away from Jinling. The Japs have always liked the Japanese who are very happy with their achievements. They not only want to capture Shencheng, but also Jinling. The Japs' purpose this time is Destroy China!
This is a national war, and China cannot afford to lose, because losing will mean the destruction of the country, so many people will die in this war, and the blood of the Chinese nation will dye every inch of the land red;
Regardless of victory or defeat, as long as we are alive, we soldiers must fight. We cannot afford to lose.
I would rather die in battle than be slaughtered by the Japanese with my hands and feet tied, and then they would step on my corpse and say triumphantly - Look, this is a slave! "
A trace of pain flashed across Li Shuo's face, then disappeared, replaced by determination, and he said in a low tone:
"Company Commander, if this is the case, I would rather die in battle. I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood, and I will fight to the death!"
Luo Ying believed that Li Shuo's words were not sloganeering at all. In the bloody battles that followed in the next few years, almost all of the more than 200,000 Huangpu elites like them died in this national war.
Luo Ying and Li Shuo both fell into deep thought. All the rhetoric at this moment was redundant. We can only fight to the death!
As long as they haven't died in battle, they will fight to the end. They hold their guns tightly and wait for a new battle...
"Company Commander, the Japs are retreating, the Japs are retreating!"
Liu Dayong's loud voice rang in Luo Ying's ears again, which more or less destroyed the tragic atmosphere.
Luo Ying just breathed a sigh of relief, without showing any particular excitement on his face;
Because he knew that this was just the beginning. The Japanese Marines who had retracted their glans would be even more difficult to fight with the support of naval guns!
